Comments

Park Min Jan 02 2023 7:48 pm The drama was a pleasant watch, I'm surprised I liked it. Calm and peaceful with great comedic dynamics between characters. Sam Do & his wife were probably the biggest highlights for anyone watching it. I wish we had more of them instead of the excessive focus on Tae Yang and his stalker. Even Tae Pyung & Dong Sook were cut off too short in last third. Maybe add another small side story about Dong Sook's daughter that we barely ever saw her. If you are in the mood for something long, give the drama a shot.

I watched about 10 dramas of Lee Dong Gun and I hated him in every single one except this one, of which he was tolerable this time. Speaking of which, both the FL and him felt underwhelming as the main leads but passable. I was wondering where's grandma in the last few episodes just to discover she passed away! Rip Kim Young Ae :(

klover Nov 19 2019 12:06 am There are so many weirdo characters in this drama that it's shocking but I guess that's the charm.

Priyanka vaishnav Jun 28 2019 2:00 pm At first episode I wondered what would be this drama about. I didn't expect that it would give a great twist. Yun shil got understaning husband, kang take yang got such a sweet girl friend. It was like karna was showing wrong doings to bad people in this plot. I like the way Lee dong respects his father, how he informs each details of his work. How everyone were bounded in one space as a family. Seriously while watching this drama, I too started helping mom in kitchen, my love on my dad is increased more now. I respect him lot more now coz this drama made me know that parens sacrifices. Thanks to this drama, it was worth watching..

Jemima May 30 2019 12:19 pm Lovely drama... A must watch

zombie May 09 2019 1:27 am just finished the last epi 54 i could barely finished this drama lots of sour grapes left in my mouth at the end very dissapointed the first half was good the story line looked promising and very entertaining but the 2nd half was boring as hell the plot disappeared the drama was not a drama anymore instead it became a very bad variety show with lots of childish stupid useless comedy i cant believe this was rated 1st at each epi my ratings for this show 4,5 out of 10 and of course NO RECOMMENDATIONS if i knew the 2nd half was gonna be like that i wouldve dumped this drama long time ago

zombie Feb 25 2019 3:09 pm just started this drama finished epi 5 and im already hooked i knew the existence of this drama cuz im always looking for good kdramas but the title really sucks is not appetizing at all so i kept passing it by and after watching a few epi i realized that the title had nothing to do with the storyline i mean a good title is something that will give you a clue of what the drama will be about like the americans are so good at naming their movies thats why they are a hit before you watch it i think koreans lack imagination when they named their dramas i guess by coincidence last week i finished a drama i am also mother or i am the mother too which turned out to be an incredible good drama but cuz of the title id been postponed it for quite a while and i almost missed it entirely cuz the title really sucks but when i finished this drama it left a big hole in my in heart i cant believe it was such a great drama which i almost missed it

Ms Dony Feb 01 2019 5:45 pm It is a classic that MUST be watched by anyone who watches Drama. Excellent in every way. Casting was perfect and all did a wonderful job of portraying well written characters. Direction, scenes, story, so enjoyable. This is a Classic to be watched over and over again..... thank you all.

Junhee Jan 19 2019 10:26 am Actually the best long episode k-drama I've ever watched. The chemistry between the casts are so damn great. The lead actors even ended up as a real couple lol. Anyone who's battling to watch this drama or not I suggest stop thinking and go watch it now. You'll never regret I swear. I watched this drama when it was aired on the tv. I just thought that I should leave a comment now since I can't forget how good this drama was. ^^

Amelia Jul 17 2018 8:08 am A very heartwarming drama. Really enjoyed every episodes, all 54 of them.

Estela Apr 23 2018 2:21 pm The best kdrama I've ever seen. I wanted to watch the other works of the director and writer of this drama. The casting was perfect too. Congratulations!

Mike Apr 14 2018 9:35 pm Funny, good story. Actors and Actress were perfect. Great Kdrama.Highly recommend!

babyjess Oct 11 2017 7:33 am I decided to watch this drama because was played by many great actress and actors. The storyline was so nice and funny, chemistry between couples was good too. It's really heartwarming drama. i love it 100% recommended !!!

jojo Oct 11 2017 7:28 am so happy for yunshil and dongjin married in real life, and i stand for ah choo couple. they're very cute and so sweet <3

Robyn Oct 05 2017 2:02 am Watching the drama bcoz I like this very nice actress - recognized her from My Husband Has A Family. The 2 leads eventually got married! Both have similar personalities n they look great together. With such an awesome cast producing "No 1" ratings, the producer should makea sequel or another successful drama with the same cast!

Monika Sep 23 2017 9:47 am Can we have this type of another show with same cast members?

It's so much entertaining.

I loved this show and all their members.

Ellenor HENDRY Aug 10 2017 2:11 pm Have enjoyed this series emmensly. The cast is outstanding.Although I do not speak the language am am to follow with the subtitles and cast projects there lines and emotions so convincly.Admire the make up and the wardrobe

bloomsbury Jul 30 2017 8:20 am @pierson, if you love this kind of drama you can watch "What Happens to My Family? (Korean Drama)" this is the link in the asianwiki.com http://asianwiki.com/What_Happens_to_My_Family%3F_(Korean_Drama) the story is like the gentlemen of wolgyesu too, but more about family. They almost have same episode too.. Best Regards.. Happy Watching..

Pierson Jul 28 2017 12:15 pm Hi all,

I shared the same sentiments as others who posted. I have one last episode to go and know that I will already miss the characters (especially after reading some of these posts). I haven't watched a series like this in a while (can't remember when) -- with enriching character development aligned to unwavering values. Also, it was interesting to watch some of the difference in culture in SK, given that I'm from Canada and rarely watch anything like this before. It was recently featured on our OMNI network broadcast here earlier in the year, must have gotten picked up from the high ratings in SK as mentioned in these posts.

Warm regards from a viewer in Canada, Pierson

Kris May 19 2017 4:15 pm Shoshele, in most european countries you will find a mixture of ethnicities. An ethnic Scandinavian can be an Italian citizen/resident/ambassador.

lrt May 07 2017 10:55 pm I've watched three of this writers work and they are some of my favorites. Park Jun-Keum is a scene stealer and cracked me up as the mother. Kim Young-Ae....You worked 'til the end...legendary career!!

Shoshele May 06 2017 10:51 am In many ways this was your standard family Kdrama, with its emphasis on family relationships, family values. Although there were the standard annoying characters - especially the mothers who thought they knew best and tried to impose their will on everyone and the annoying villain - the actors were wonderful (with the exception of the two foreigners, who must have been cast because of their appearance but not because of any acting skills. Why would they cast someone with a Scandinavian accent and a Scandinavian physiognomy to play the Italian ambassador?!! 왜요?!). Anyway, I will miss this show, which I binge-watched over the course of a week. The ending, in particular, was very well done, I thought. If anyone is feeling nostalgic or experiencing withdrawal, I invite you to check out the segment on "Happy Together" in which two of the couples appear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0OaFD6DNPA

JANE Apr 30 2017 12:28 pm i really love this kdrama..i still miz them... thumbs up for everybody...

Bimbola Mar 16 2017 7:52 am Most heartwarming korean drama I've watched in recent time. Wondering if the next kdrama I'll won't pale in comparison to this. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

SY Mar 13 2017 4:34 pm Best drama I've ever watch! Beautiful characters.Thanks all actors, actresses n all team for their good job. Love you all!

Erika Mar 12 2017 12:34 am This drama is really amazing..love it much. First time watching a drama like this. Can't forget this. ... I'm so proud to all actors and actress. They're acted well..hope to see them again.

JAC Mar 11 2017 9:05 am Great Dramas like Oh My Venus, Five Enough, and Laurel Tree Tailors viewers could watch them over, over, and over again.

   The stories are good and they are refresh each time to view them.

     Enjoy E N J O Y!

Mblaq-MadTown ^^ Mar 09 2017 6:58 pm It was a real pleasure to see this drama, I really enjoy it, I think this has been one of the best works of Lee Dong Gun(i fell in love^^)and Choi Won Young (Tae Pyung). 200% recommended ^^

Kpuffs Mar 08 2017 9:30 am Ahhh Wolgyesu!! It was such a warm and beautiful family drama. I watched it faithfully for all 27 weeks all the way to the end. I usually get tired somewhere along the middle but not with this one. The first long length drama I have ever stuck to this faithfully. It made every week start off with a warm feeling in my heart. I came to love everyone on the show as though I know them in real life. My weekends are definitely not the same without it. I will especially miss Min Hyo Won's mum's dramatics. She always played an evil character in dramas I've watched before but here she was so lovably dramatic and fun! Made me laugh my tush off every week. Wonderful story, amazing cast and altogether really awesome production! It felt like family from start to finish! Thank you Wolgyesu! :-)

Ob Mar 08 2017 8:28 am Love the last 5 minutes of ep. 54 when the elder Mr Lee defined what a gentleman is and the 4 other guys listened.

Danniah Mar 06 2017 12:48 am Well-packaged family drama. Every couple has their own love story and that's what makes this drama worth watching. There is no over dramatic problem, yet it has best-written characters. As for the villains, they are not really villains. They have their own version point of views and it makes them different. The reasons why they do all bad things are explained very well. I can't believe near the end of the drama, I can forgive all the villains even love them more than the protagonists. LoL.

Best couple for me : Maknae's couple Best villain for me : Hong Gi-pyo Best character for me : Min Hyo-sang

jelly Mar 04 2017 6:50 am great drama and truly enjoyed the whole series!! also, super thrilled and happy that LDG n YS confirmed their relationship!!! what a great news.

StreamFan68 Mar 01 2017 11:17 am Anyone notice early in season when Kang Tae-Yang broke his arm... in back to back episodes directors majorly goofed up, and placed cast on his right arm in one episode and then on left arm in the next episode and then back to right arm? I caught this last night watching I think just before he has it removed it happends..Maybe 2-3 episodes prior.. *Funny

jinjoo Feb 28 2017 1:23 pm This drama was so good, all casts were fantastic, the storyline, etc. crews i can't get over it & wished this was extended to 100 episodes! daebak, 5 stars & 2 thumbs up waaaaaaaay up! i'm having the withdrawal angst about this but the one good news is that the lead actors LDG & JYH are dating in real life! We congratulate you both & have a long lasting relationship! You both deserved to have good & happy partners in life! Fans like me were really rooting for you to be real couple & our prayers have been answered! To the actress who acted as LDG's mom in this drama, we pray you pull through & be back on your feet again! Prayers are with you for a speedy recovery! To all the cast/crew/p.d./writer/s hooray to you all for a job well done! Why did you stop at 54 epis? :) you shld've gone all the way, a drama this good should be longer than 54 epis! Hope all the cast will be reunited again in another drama! Luv Cha in pyo & Miran & the young couple HW & LSY(?) all of you deserved a nice trip outside SK as they usually do when your drama reached a high rating! God bless all for giving us excellent entertainment!

Barbara P Feb 28 2017 12:48 pm he Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop TV Show was good ! And all actors were very good jobs. HOPE that will have part two?

Kennedy Rose Feb 27 2017 10:32 pm Can't believe it's over..now what? Argh!

What i love abt this drama is the chemistry among the actors are excellent..from the couples(sun nyeo & sam do rocks!) to the "sworn brothers" relationships..perfect!

I love the fact that there no evil villains here... there are those who are "bad" but in the end, they alk turned over a new leaf..love how the arrogant and spoilt hyo sang(HAH!!) suddenly turned into such a docile little lamb under sam do's constant nagging...he is so cute when he told his wife that he loves sewing nowadays(ji yeon's face is priceless) .. he no longer that power crazy brat but a guy who brags he did the curtains for their bedroom(LOL).  Even hyo joo made peace with her stepmum(aigoo..aigoo) and that is such a nice smile she gave when she called ms ko "mum".

Sigh..i dun know if i can ever watch another drama as good(and as long) as this!

JAC Feb 27 2017 11:16 am This drama started out dry and slow.

   The leads did not like each other and LDG was boring.

    The middle and end picks up because the women characters changed.

      Great work by professional actresses who raise the acting bar.

Mary Lou Feb 26 2017 1:11 pm I ❤️Korean Deama. This is one of the best, so rich in values and culture , my favorite indeed. LDG you got a new fan. You are so cool. I cannot wait for a new and refreshing family oriented drama like this one. Congratulations !

Katalina Feb 26 2017 11:05 am I cant believe its over. Gosh I'm going to miss this drama soooo much. Congratulations to all the cast and production team. Fantastic job. Wishing the best in 2017 for you.

JAC Feb 25 2017 9:13 am Eps 53 was ok. Not surprised by DJ ex reaction to his wife addition.

    Eps 54 will be the one to watch!

      Happy for cast and production crew.

      Looking forward to watch I take care of you father!

nancy Feb 23 2017 8:49 am If I'm correct, weekend dramas of KBS are always number 1 in the ratings chart. They are all family orientated.

JAC Feb 20 2017 8:21 pm Five Enough and laure tree tailors were the best dramas in 2016 and 2017.

     Great work on showing how family are gather in generations.

Bea Almero Feb 20 2017 4:54 pm Wow, l never expected, l would love this drama that much,that I hate to end this. Congratulations Ko Hyun Sook for this marvelous work of art and to Director Hwang In-Yuk for a perfect combination of characters whose acting prowess are par excellent! What is best in this drama is that it showcases family life, and the causes of its downfall without being preachy. This is a drama that is unpredictable,that excites televiewers as to what happens next. It unfolds tremendous turn of events that you wouldn't imagine. Who would believe, that GHP and his mother would have change of hearts only because of the diary of NYS?And who would imagine the unveiling of the truth about HGP's lies of his kidney donation to the father of NYS that stole 10 years of her life. The drama is very rich in culture and values. I appreciate the writer's artistic means of unveiling the literary element of reward and punishment in this literary masterpiece. The redeeming values which are very much highlighted in this drama clearly convey the messages the writer.

I love how the writer develops the characters of LDJ and NYS which both portray their roles very realistically and excellently. Their chemistry develops fast. They're very natural. Even the support cast contribute to the success of the comic element of this drama! I love their bickerings, even their eavesdropping that add more fun to the drama. The desire of the writer to convey the message of letting go, moving on and forgiveness is very prominent in this drama but I just wonder if at the end the ex-wife would unload the bitterness in her heart, live peacefully with her her step family and even make peace with NYS and make retribution. I love the purity of LDJ's love for NYS, the warmth and comfort, he showers her, how he uplifts her morale and gives her the assurance that she will forever beloved to the extent of warning his ex no to cause misunderstanding that would hurt his wife. Not very cheesy, but we could feel the warmth of his love. We should not also forget HGP's pure love for NYS, unfortunately he didn't handle it well. Most of all, I love the humility of Lee Man -Sool, his humble beginnings and how he loves other people other than his family. This drama may not be even perfect. It has its own flaws but this is generally great, realistic, and exudes human life. Very timeless and universal. Looking forward to the final 2 episodes of the drama. Expect the unexpected while wishing for a season 2 with the children of the couples of Wolgyesu. Again congratulations and thank you for giving us an exciting weekend drama!

cherrydrop08 Feb 20 2017 5:17 am Tae-Yang and Hyo-Won are the most adorable couple I've ever had the pleasure to watch. :D

JAC Feb 19 2017 8:01 am Great we all agree that the cast, writer, and director did a fantastic job.

   The story is getting better and the actors & actresses did a great job.

  Nevertheless, hope Lee Dong-Gun a happy life.

  Knowing Jo Yoon-Hee is a well educated young lady wish her happiness, she have work diligently represented the average Korean woman in film well.

    Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you for the wonderful entertainment.

mag sy Feb 19 2017 6:49 am Jmoon, your analysis of the situation makes so much sense, you almost sound as if you are the scriptwriter! very enlightening.

btw i notice that dong jin never clearly articulated his main motivation as to why he was open to returning to meesa apparel. usually it is the first thing that is expressed so people could more readily accept. in this case, he only asks people what they think about such a move but leaves us to figure out on our own what is driving him to do it. but given his intentional way of behaving, it is surely the greater good.

only 3 more episodes... sigh!

jelly Feb 19 2017 6:35 am good points JMoon. i just wish LDG truly love YS with more actions, i.e. to help her to get rid of her internal inferiority struggle and fulfill her long lost dreams. As for the ex, i just can't stand her arrogant and disrespectful behaviors- from the beginning up to even Ep52 ( which i just for watched 2 mins ago - direct streaming from KBS). Having said this, feel great in this Ep52, LDG finally did something for YS that we talked about----HOORAY！！！！！also, they might have baby soon........:))))

JMoon Feb 19 2017 6:21 am WOW - why do I NOT feel the same sentiments as you guys do??

I think what the writer is doing is to really show how much each character HAS GROWN and MATURED in the course of these 50 episodes. Including LDJ, including NYS... INCLUDING EX-WIFE.

I actually think it's absolutely AWESOME that NYS is in that situation, and in that environment... because she actually showed us how strong she has become, how mature she has become, the inner strength and the knowing that LDJ is HER MAN. And she said it LOUD and CLEAR to ex-wife. This is the moment when NYS really SHINES, and that she can now stand up to her and can say in her face, "what's mine is mine, and don't you dare touch him." Remember how she was like back then when she saw her at the bespoke tailoring contest? She felt so small and so insignificant that she was hiding behind LDJ... whereas this time, she's all like "look you b*^@h, hands off my man, coz you're in the past, woman!" Don't you think that is soooo worth the storyline of how everything is unfolding??

And because of that, the ex-wife is backing down... ex-wife also realizes NYS is no longer the same weak woman she thought she was. Now that we only have 3 episodes left, I DO NOT think the focus is on the ex-wife scheming anymore. The whole talk between her and Min Hyo Won proved that she's finally realizing what's past is past, and she should look ahead. I also think she now realizes she actually has a family of some sort, despite their grudges and differences... and how at the end, what she really wants, is just a family of her own... and she does have them.

And back to NYS... I seriously don't think her feeling inferior (= not having a college education) has anything to do with the ex-wife. Her feeling inferior is PURELY measured against how she thought of LDJ (with or with ex-wife) from day one - that he's smart, intelligent, highly educated. Her belief that this is all true (which I guess on paper, it is)... is really more coming from how LDJ's mom has been treating her son all along. Let's not forget what a precious baby Mom thought of LDJ and that's why she told NYS she's not a good match for him! Let's not forget that part. And then top it off with her feeling like she lost 10 years - and what she COULD'VE done in those 10 years (= college education)... it's not LDJ's wrongdoing of putting HER in that environment. It's NYS own internal struggle, her own hurdle and obstacle, that only she herself could overcome, and no one else. Let's try digging even deeper - what she said about how she's not a good match is not even the real reason... the REAL meaning behind it is: "I was good in school, I got good grades. If it weren't for HGP, I would've gone to college." THAT, is the real meaning behind what she said. The unfairness is coming from HGP.

And I trust that LDJ is actually going to help her manifest her dreams because he wants to make up for the 10 years that she's lost - her dreams of becoming a tailor, her dreams of being a college graduate.

I actually like the fact that HGP did not expose ex-wife about how she bailed him out of jail - because it has nothing to do with what's happening now. Sure, if the writer decided to use that to really obstruct them being together, and that if our OTP were still struggling to stay together by the time we get to ep 51, then yes, I would totally agree. What's the point of exposing her?? What we are seeing now is even better - despite the fact that she went through all that trouble to bail him out in hoping he would help destroy our OTP - nothing went her way! Her plan completely failed, in the worst way possible! Isn't that a sweet revenge in itself already??

In regards to LDJ's and his intentions of going back to being the CEO at Meesa... I really don't think he craved the power, or anything like that. He has learned so much from NYS, that he realized giving and helping others is more important... while he makes sure that his wife is fully okay and completely understanding of the situation, which SHE IS! He's learned to be grateful and be helpful and be resilient while making very clear about his boundaries. I actually think it's a very grand gesture of his to come up with that plan - for him to turn Meesa around, WHILE making sure Min Hyo Sang gets the necessary training that he needs, in the humblest way possible. And I so LOVE the symbolism of tailoring at this point of the story, and finally understand the reason behind it and think it's ingenious of the writer to set the backdrop at a tailor shop... because tailoring is such a fine craft that you really have to learn, from the ground up, putting pieces together carefully by meticulously sewing each and every step of the way, making precise measurements yet not giving up the creativity, to create a suit that's both unique and speaks to the customers emotionally. It's almost like this is the only craft that would tie in all the elements so perfectly and then wrap it up with a bow - and that's exactly what MHS needs to learn AND master before he can take back the CEO seat - because his millennial quick-fix entitlement ain't cutting it. And this is THE best way to learn.

I'm not trying to be pessimistic or cynical here - buy why is a wedding scene between LDJ and NYS so important?? I don't think NYS would care for it that much, I mean she actually went through with the prep of TWO weddings already, PLUS a wedding photo shoot... and it's his second marriage! Isn't the actual marriage itself, and the experiences and the hardships they overcame way more important at this point? The wedding scene between HW and TY would be more significant because it symbolizes the ultimate acceptance of them being together despite how much struggle they also had to have gone through.

Anyways, just my two cents. Let's see if tonight's episode will change my mind.

Can't believe it's ending next weekend!! :(

Frances Feb 18 2017 11:57 pm DJ is never going to know about HJ scheme, cos all the baddies will 'repent' and their evil schemes swept under the carpet. The talk DJ had with YS saying he will leave Meesa if she tells him to, to me is only to defend and justify his own selfish desire. Success and being a CEO in a big co is still important to him. What he told his mom were just rubbish! He shouldnt AT ALL think about it when approached by the other directors. Just showed Meesa is still first place in his heart. Also, I doubt there will be a wedding scene for DJ and YS. Guess writer just decided to drop them and give a wedding scene to HW n TY. Sigh!

jelly Feb 18 2017 10:33 pm LDG is very clear what he wants but sad to see YS is still feeling inferior..Let's hope LDG will help YS to fulfill her dreams, not just being the best female tailor but also to complete the education she mentioned.

The ex is still in her "dream world ". Her disrespect of others and arrogant behaviors are totally  unacceptable- yet up to ep51, this arrogant lady still does not show any sense of remorseful!!! i would thought the writer will have GP to share with LDG that it was his Ex who bailed him out to destroy LDG and YS wedding...( well, again nothing happened).

3 more esp to go... LDG - u should not be too greedy to have everything for your own satisfaction!! you did say to YS that you prefer a normal life with her and have two lovely children... but unfortunately after married YS, u chose your career than family!!!! if you really love YS, pls quickly do something to make her truly proud of herself and enjoy the happy family life. Being the "President" of your ex family business is nothing to be proud of anyway- even ultimately u managed to turnaround the messy company .

Frances Feb 18 2017 8:11 pm Yes, DJ is a insensitive fool for doing this to YS. Lost my initial liking for him. Feel sorry for YS. She deserves better! Really don't mind if YS leaves him!

K Feb 18 2017 2:46 pm @JAC, don't spoil anything. Wth...

JAC Feb 18 2017 10:56 am We are down to the very end of the drama with three more to go. Confused with the story; however, we all know the character Min Hyo-Joo plans are dirty and will try to humiliate our star character Na Yeon-Sil.

Lee Dong-Jin character is a fool to put his wife in a situation where she is not comfortable. Rich ex-wife and friends vs. poor wife in new environment.

                  Lee Dong-Jin how do you maintain your wife and family happiness?

andrys Feb 13 2017 2:16 pm This drama is great, I feel great excitement with just looking at a new chapter (lee dong gun fan in Venezuela) I invite you to follow @leedonggun_Venezuela where I share news about lee donggun and the drama

JAC Feb 13 2017 10:00 am Wow this is great drama review and enjoyed the insight on the story.

     Entertainment is at its best in this Drama.

             Happy they won the awards!

Kristine Feb 13 2017 10:00 am I really love Lee Dong Gun (Im a huge fan from the Philippines). I thought this drama only have 50 episodes so I really felt sad as it nearing its end but to my surprise they extended 4 more episodes yehey! ? I always look forward every weekend for his drama. I love the whole cast, the story and how every one gets it share of the spotlight in every episode. Kudos to every one..the actors, actresses, crews, director, writer.. Good job! ? Im not a fan of long dramas but this one really got me hooked up especially with Lee Dong Gun in it. Hoping to see more of Lee Dong Gun making drama series and even films..

JMoon Feb 12 2017 9:08 pm @JAC I so agree with you! The actors and actresses having chemistry is one thing... but their private lives is another, and totally irrelevant! I would say if you felt something, that means they're doing a good job as actors/actresses.

Just finished watching ep50... I feel like now it's the climax. All of our gentlemen are back to square one in their own way, even for Taeyang and Samdo... and now we'll see how much they have grown, and how they will deal with their situations differently than how they would have been!

At first, I was wary about the 4-episode extension, as I'm sure we all felt a bit of a dragging happening for an episode or so earlier... but now that we're in full force gearing up towards the end, I feel like with the momentum we have gained, the dragging was legit and necessary.

I SO AGREE about the women presence... as their inner strength REALLY shines through with their acting, and they show you in their introspective way that they're the strong backup support that the men are actually depending on at all times. What I LOVED about ep50 was Park Jun-Keum's acting - her transition from a helpless, shocked, weak madam on the surface... to the strong, adaptable, mature head of the family on the inside, when she realized she needed to rise to the occasion and look at the big picture.

I hope Min Hyo-Sang really comes to his senses, now that even Hong Gil-Pyo has! I'm not going to give it away or spoil anything for anyone... but the offer for him is the best outcome there could ever be... and he should be like his mother, to look at the big picture!!

jelly Feb 12 2017 8:27 am after watching ep50, i have a strong feeling LDG decision to return to Messa as he already knew the evil behavior of the Ex. also he is planning something with GP. this will ultimately allow YS to forgive GP and completely be a happy person and no hatred... i'm hoping LDG and YS will have baby soon and bring some happy news to the family :)!

jelly Feb 12 2017 8:20 am after watching EP50, i have a strong feeling LDG decided to go back Messa because he already knew the evil behavior of the ex. and also planning something with GP. ultimately this will allow YS to forgive GP so that she can be completely happy and not holding any hatred... i'm hoping YS and LDG will have baby soon and bring some cheerful news to the family....:)

JAC Feb 12 2017 7:50 am Seriously no one care about these actors and actresses private lives. First this is a drama and it seems to be doing well.

    Story line has change for the better, so the old couple have move

         Now it is up to the Four Gentlemen and/or Ladies to deal with 
            the next four esp. of the Drama?
                     It looks like all are Fighting, but will the Four Gentlemen Succeed?
   Jo Yoon-Hee, Ra Mi-Ran, Lee Se-Young, and Park Jun-Keum made this drama great because of their women presence. Strong Acting!

Frances Feb 11 2017 8:57 pm I read in other threads that many are rooting for LDG/LDJ and JYH/NYS and are disappointed with the less loving scenes between them esp after their wedding. I can't help but suspect is because of LDG breakup with his gf, so now trying to play down their lovey-dovey scenes,so as to avoid rumours/blame on JYH. Just as MS in one scene said that if DJ and YS are meant to be together they will meet again, so if LDG n JYH have develop feelings for one another in the course of this drama, we pray they will have a smooth relationship. In the scene where YS asked DJ to pinch her in case she's dreaming, instead DJ gave a deep kiss on lips, n I noticed DJ face 'change color' and that moment I sense there is some 'flutter' on LDG's side. In fact when SD discovered their relationship he asked DJ when they became close and DJ said at first he was attracted to her and now become closer. If you rewatch earlier eps, noticed DJ deep stare at YS, and I think in reality he was actually attracted to YH already. So after his breakup news was out, I think he did not hold back so was able to act more naturally towards JYH. So for JYH sake let's not 'pressure' them and pray that if they really have developed feelings for one another, things will work out well and smooth for them. I really think they are a very compatible couple. As for the drama, I hope DJ doesn't go back to Meesa and help from outside, but hopefully he also learn to let go, may be grateful to ex fil, but it's over and need to let go and concentrate on his life and his new venture. Let HJ face the consequences of her own doing. She has to learn a lesson in order to realise her 'sins' and hopeful repent!

mag sy Feb 10 2017 6:54 am i enjoy this series very much and look forward to it every weekend! i first watch it in korean then another time reading the english subs! the script writer is very good in highlighting the nuances of love between couples and among families. the story also makes me reflect on what it means to appreciate one's craft. the casting is perfect and very memorable in their roles. i especially like the love and care for each other demonstrated by dong jin and yun shil. thank you very much for creating this beautiful drama series. a winner in every way ?

JMoon Feb 09 2017 7:17 pm @Bea Almero - I so agree with you! Actually I watched an episode of Happy Together where most of them were guests... and Jo Hoon Hee and Lee Dong Gun really had no chemistry whatsoever. It seemed like they had two extreme personalities and they weren't gelling it. So in the beginning, they felt a bit iffy to me. But then as time passes, their chemistry got stronger and stronger, and I think they're finally at a place where they're comfortable with each other, and they found a compromising point. And in hindsight, it makes sense to me, because in the beginning of the drama their two characters were not having it!

I love all the values you point out - that's exactly how I felt. This, to me, is like the weekend drama version of Reply 1988 where the underlying thread tying everything together is the love -whether it's family, romantic, siblings, friendship - that will make you stronger and give you strength to overcome anything at all.

I woke up this morning with the "Here I come" song in my head hahahaha... and I cannot get it out!!! HELP!!!

Bea Almero Feb 08 2017 3:34 pm I never expected I would be hooked to this drama. I wasn't able to really start the story. I only tuned in by chance and before I know it, I was already got hooked to it and look forward to it on weekends.The characters play their roles realistically. I was observing jo hoon hee's chemistry with lee dong gun, because when I listened to one press con, she seemed Not appreciative of dong gun's persona. But honestly, I was rooting for their great chemistry as partners, as I would also love to watch Cha In Pyo/ Ra Mi Ran and the young couple, Hyun Woo/ Lee Se Young. Indeed, they deserve their awards. They perfectly played their roles. This is one weekend drama that is not boring because it has all the components of comedy, love, hate, sacrifice, serious, and brings about the values, culture and tradition of Korea, which Koreans can be proud of. I should not forget, Shin Goo, whom I enjoy in Grandpas Over Flowers. Congrats to a great production! I hope Yoon Hee's impression of Dong Gun changes after the drama is over. They are a perfect pair. Kisses are natural!

nami Feb 06 2017 9:46 am i love all these episodes. it gives me strength to move on too. thankyou! i love it

JMoon Feb 06 2017 7:53 am @JAC - I know! I was so sad watching Abeoji squinting his eyes trying to see if that's his daughter :'(

Thank god the two leads are finally together! Now it's a waiting game to see what kind of crazy antics Hong Gipyo is going to come up with... probably scheming with Min Hyoju.

And then we have KTY and Min Hyowon... they are the only sane ones now in that family, so I'm counting on them to save the day!

I actually never cared for any weekend dramas... always found them chaotic and churning out the same formula. But I caught this one by chance on TV and I've been hooked ever since! I've been more hooked on this show than Goblin hahaha... no joke!! Every week I'm so looking forward to it and become anxious when the Sunday episode airs, coz that means I'd have to wait another week!

JAC Feb 05 2017 6:35 pm Wow! This is a better drama story

  Happy to see the two leads finally together. Don't forget the father situation he may not make it.

JMoon Feb 05 2017 10:50 am My theory: Lee Dongjin won't be able to go back to Meesa for various reasons... but he also doesn't want to see it fail. So he's going to do it behind the scenes, giving Kang Taeyang a crash course and KTY will lead the company back to how it was... yay! Choi Jiyeon will then regret it, leave Min Hyosang and will try to get back to KTY and they will expose her evil side to the world and she will lose her announcer job!

jelly Feb 03 2017 12:29 am Frances, i love your suggested scenes!!????

Frances Feb 02 2017 9:36 pm Hope they show some scenes of Sam Do intensively coaching NYS to design and cut so that she can win the next tailoring competition and become Seoul's best female tailor, then DJ's mom and others would be proud of her! Hope they also show some scene where DJ shower loving gesture towards NYS in front of ex-wife so we can see her fuming!!!

jelly Feb 02 2017 7:53 pm hopefully DJ n YS are able to enjoy some peaceful and happiness in the last 8 Eps. though GP has done many bad things to YS, at least he is doing those becos he loves YS (but is selfish love). in my view, the most wicked character is the ex- wife and she should b punished more than anyone in this drama:)...

fighting DJ n YS!,,

Frances Jan 29 2017 11:35 pm After ep 46 I hope they clear all NYS kidney issue and let her get on with becoming the best woman tailor, Pls don't let her do anymore stupid things and concentrate on being good wife and daugher-in-law. Enough is enough! Having said that, if GP did not end up in hospital then DJ would never know that GP lied about donating kidney. Hope NYS report to police about her kidnapping to take revenge on GP and he has to run for his life!

JAC Jan 29 2017 2:34 pm Totally get why the writer dragged ep 45, but it was unnecessary. Ep 46 we are back again to continue the DRAMA.....love the payback on outlaws and mom. Next payback should be Ex-wife and family, hope.

           HANG in there Na Yeon-Sil your man is worth the fight!

Got to admit that the writer given the character Lee Dong-Jin balls to stand up to the OUTLaw and mom!

shola Jan 29 2017 7:21 am I agree with jelly and jac ..... After episode 45 the story just took a stupid turn.. I was enjoying it but not anymore. It suddenly got draggy nd uninteresting.. And wats with the additional 4 episodes? Will only stir up unnecessary dragging

jelly Jan 29 2017 5:07 am could not believe how the writer makes YS so freaking dumb women!! please reveal the true color of the wicked arrogant DJ ex-wife plot ASAP. this drama was quite beautifully crafted but after watching Ep45, it is getting too draggy and uninteresting - keep repeating how stupid and "retarded" the main actress (YS). also her behavior is humiliating to korean women mentality !

JAC Jan 28 2017 7:51 am ep.45 and we are back to square 1 or ep. 1!

                    What the heck Na Yeon-Sil, you are stupid!

         Lee Dong-Jin	if you need to go back to the Alcoholic it is your choice?     Good Luck!

Frances Jan 22 2017 8:21 pm Jo Yoon Hee is really very attractive. Hope Gi-Pyo will not hurt her but if he truly love her let her go and find her happiness. She has suffered all these years because of him. If he has any conscience he should do the right thing. I hope Dong Jin will give his ex a piece of his mind when he finds out that she was the one behind Gi-Pyo bail. Hope TY, TP and SD will help Dong Jin find YS and fight with the gangster.

JAC Jan 22 2017 8:04 am Min Hyo-Joo plays her role to the letter as evil/alcoholic and Hong Gi-Pyo goes along with her.

                            What two losers who want the world!

If you really want her go find her again Lee Dong-Jin character.

                           As for Jo Yoon-Hee, you are the best actress in this drama. Thank you KBS for the four exta eps.

kip Jan 21 2017 8:13 am what song? (

Frances Jan 20 2017 9:06 pm Love DJ and NYS couple very much, Skip all of TY, HW and mother scenes - too noisy and at times irritating and ridiculous, and the meowing is getting annoying.

kurage Jan 20 2017 4:35 am I love this story overall, but I'm not too fond of the main couple. It's not that I don't want them to be together, it's just they are plain boring. I guess I can't really see the chemistry of them both that I often skip the scenes when they both together. Although Na Yeonshil is a kind girl, she's too weak and somewhat pushover. As for Taeyang-Hyowon couple, they're both so cute together. I really don't want that *itch Jiyeon to end up with Hyosang since she's just a plain gold digger. Even if they do, I hope that Hyosang will go to jail and lose everything. As for Dongjin mother, I really hate her double standard attitude. She admits that Yeonshil is very nice and should get a better guy, but she thinks that her son is just too good for her. Even when her son told her he wasn't happy while being married to his first wife and how he felt like being his wife's butler, she still wants her son to reconcile with his ex-wife? Why is it that many parents think that your child need to marry with someone rich to be happy?

Lin Yu Dj Jan 16 2017 10:44 pm Nice, but ha ha He doesn't escape from fire (it is nonsense) Do you a kind of fire fighter?

Linawaty Jan 16 2017 1:25 pm Very nice family drama, every week so at the reception goes. leedongjin and nayunsil wish the couple a happy ending. leedonjin and nayunsil couples should get the best couple. acting they were both very nice and natural

JAC Jan 16 2017 7:30 am Saturday and Sunday Drama have been Fantastic!

               Great Cast especially the lead female Jo Yoon-Hee, she has 
      demonstrated a lot quality acting that was different and fun.

               The Ladies actresses in the drama made this drama what it is
      a great production. Nevertheless, the story was about four men and their lives. The Ladies acted well.

JAC Jan 15 2017 2:38 pm Don't under the ex wife motive other than she is greedy.

      Not sure about the controlling bully jailbird and his mother they both remind me of slave / master .

Yes the lead actress really is convincing in her role as a lady tailor.

ALETHIA DOUGLASS Jan 14 2017 10:18 am I love this series. I have laughed and cried so much. Great job.

JAC Jan 08 2017 7:45 pm I agree the lead couple in relations to the writer are stubborn and alike in their love.

Kang Tae-Yang and  Min Hyo-Won characters are young, but must wiser than the lead couple. The third couple are pathetic because of their greed for money and love.

                  Love, Love, and Love this DRAMA KBS

star Jan 08 2017 12:14 pm once again kdrama scenes that make no scense. How do you see someone lying in a house right next to the fire and you hug her while she's lying down and not pick her up and run out. The main couple is not cutting it for me, the damsel in distress character is so overrated. but the others are fun to watch they make the show more interesting

JAC Jan 08 2017 11:08 am Writers you have left the viewers on the cliff hanging with the fire incident.

                       Great the young couple are getting married!
                     The older couple are getting separate, so the boy can      have a dad? Stupid find another man.

                      My two true love couple are together in a fire?
                      We know the guy got out alive.

JAC Jan 07 2017 9:56 pm Right now this drama is a bit confusing not sure if the old bat needs to ask Na Yeon-Sil to come back?

    Understood Na Yeon-Sil is protecting Lee Dong-Jin by hiding, but enough is enough.

margaret Jan 03 2017 9:26 pm I love this show but OMG I hate the ex-wife, now she let him go and wants him back because she does not want anyone else to have him, she is pure evil and spiteful. I cannot stand Lee Dong-Jin mother at all, she is a stuck-up old snob and how she could do that to Na Yeon-Sil is beyond me and now she wants the ex-daughter-in-law back, like really lady your son went through hell with her and she does not love him only loves the power. I can't stand Min Hyo-Sang or Choi Ji-Yeon, they are two peas in a pod, wish they would get together but he would loose everything and she would be left with a broke husband, all she sees is money and nothing else, she is nothing but a plan __itch. I love the mother Han Eun-Sook as she is not as bad as i though she was, she is funny and really cares about her family, even the evil step-daughter. I love Kang Tae-Yang and Min Hyo-Won, they are such a cute couple and those little cat looks she gives him is just beyond words. I just hope she does not break up with him when she finds out that Choi-Ji-yoon is his ex-girlfriend, even though he has tried to tell her about his ex, I hope they stay together. I like the other two couples in her too but just kind of mad at Bae Sam-Do doing things behind his wife's back, he is married and now he is going crazy because his first love is back, not a good thing. But all in all a good show.

elle Jan 01 2017 11:45 pm I love this show. I started watching this show because I was waiting for Goblin and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. I wasn't expecting anything. Let's just say I haven't watched those two shows since I started this drama. Lol. The pace is kinda slow, but it keeps me interested. Sadly, I've caught up with all 38 episodes. I can't wait for the next episode. Right now I'm not liking Dong Jin's mom. She may be old, but not as wise as her husband. I'm waiting for Dong Jin's mom to realized that Dong Jin and Yeon-Sil are meant for each other.

joe Jan 01 2017 4:17 pm does anyone know he song in episode 36 at 44.00?

JAC Jan 01 2017 8:48 am New Year's Day and the story continues to be sad and depressing!

      Lighten Up writers understood the setbacks, but the lead characters 
     could have some little more sense than bad luck.

Fighting for the lead couple!

JAC Dec 31 2016 7:55 am Great writing to tell a story of heartbreak and how pathetic women are in Korean with no voice.

                                 SAD New Year!

tuen Dec 30 2016 2:28 am only watching for Tae Yang, Hyo Won and her mom. Love this trio

Dreamhigh Dec 28 2016 3:22 pm excellent drama, Love it!

kumakumon Dec 28 2016 9:18 am My 2016 Best Favorite Drama, Favorite Couple (Yun Shil Dong Jin), Favorite OST and BGM, so happy to end the year with this unexpectedly great drama. From ep 1, my excitement kept getting higher, BRAVO!

JAC Dec 26 2016 10:10 pm Min Hyo-Joo character is evil and an alcoholic; therefore, Choi Gok-Ji is why a forty something Korean man was self-centered until he met with Na Yeon-Sil.

      What a mess where a adult man can not select who he want to marry?

JAC Dec 25 2016 9:30 am Strange custom for mothers to be over protective of the forth and fifty years old sons.

                       Great drama, but unbelievable stupid poor vs. rich ideas

JAC Dec 24 2016 10:49 am What grandma do not want the two love birds to marry?

      Not surprise grandma wants money or baby man to stay
               With her forever!

Neea Dec 21 2016 7:06 am love the quartet in ep34, so lovely

Mira Dec 21 2016 4:54 am I'm so in love with Park Jun-keum's acting. She is really good portrays as annoying wealthy or controlling mom. I had seen her in many kdramas as a mother and I really in love with her stylish fashions and images. She might a very beautiful classic girl in her young ages and yet, now she is ageing but still put-up her feminine looks in every dramas. I'm always look over her now in every dramas now n' then.

Danoffre Dec 20 2016 4:34 am What about ST ?

Regards

JAC Dec 19 2016 9:01 am Got the story and progress of the drama about the four couples. Love the cast and writing. Best drama in 2016!

Main character ex wife is boring, but it works

Ozmo Dec 18 2016 4:07 am Hands down the best drama I've ever watched, and I've watched A LOT! Absolutely adore TaeYang and HyoWon!! Every time I see them, and hear the cute meow and Lovelyz "Ah-Choo" I just can't help but grin and giggle. They're the cutest couple ever ... gotta be in line for Best Couple surely! Everything about this drama is wonderful. The main actors are brilliant, everyone is fantastic! The cast are bringing out the best of the writer's intentions. It's not silly or contrived and unnecessary. Even the 'baddies' are portrayed so well. I just love this show and don't want it to end ... ever! LOL

JAC Dec 11 2016 9:03 pm KBS this drama is getting better and better. Love the story, music, and cast.

2016 is ending with a good light and bringing in the new year with a Great Drama.

  Thank you Thank you Thank you

bibimbabo Dec 11 2016 2:15 am Anyone know what song played in the slow mo scene in episode 31 when Cha In-Pyo walked past the bakery? At 13m45s.

ryuserri Dec 10 2016 12:19 pm there's jihoon oppa...omo! *-*

ARMY Dec 09 2016 2:45 pm Superb! Best drama ever! I learnt so much from this drama. It's not all about romance, bit it also concludes our daily life with family. I highly recommend this drama to anyone. It's my first time watching a very long episode drama. Anyway, the actors did very well and I highly enjoyed this drama. Never regret watching it and looking forward for the next episodes!

Na Yun Ki Dec 04 2016 10:08 pm This drama is so good & keeps getting better. It has me longing for the weekends again.

raasyndrome Nov 30 2016 2:15 am @miss lily

it's Lovelyz song, the name is Ah-choo

duffydax Nov 28 2016 10:20 pm So interested about what's going to happen revolving around these couples (Tae-yang + Hyowon) vs (Hyosang + Jiyeon).

Miss Lili Nov 28 2016 12:33 pm anyone know a 'chu' song played at taeyang and hyo won scene?

MistyNamu Nov 28 2016 4:25 am I love the coupke taeyang and hyowon here they are soo cute and i love their chemistry onscreen...

Greta Isales Nov 27 2016 9:41 am Just before this drama started I know going to watch every episode of it.I love the plot and the settings.It has great casts too.I've been a fan of Lee Dong Gun since Lovers in Paris days and I fell in love with Hyun Woo's acting in ugly alert..I've watched Jo Yoon Hee also in Lie To Me who played the 2nd female lead..I find her very pretty and is such a great actress..I love all the characters in this drama..Haha leather jacket,Bae Samdo and Bok Sonyeo always makes me laugh plus Ms.Ko..Mr Lee and Ms.Choi are great actors too..Aside from Lee Dong Jin and Na Yeonshil ,Kang Tae Yang and Min Hyowon are such an adorable and cute couple too.I also love Dong Sook,she did a great job playing as Minah's mom in Beautiful Gong Shim..Haha I'm just so happy that this drama has 23 episodes left it means I'll be seeing the characters of this moving and heartwarming drama for long..Fighting

sophiagarcia Nov 25 2016 7:44 pm i so love this drama. great actors. well except jae yee, eun seok and jung eun who do not sit well with the cast. The coupling or pairing of the gentlemen and their women may have been a result of a careful study. They seem to jell well.

This drama and She was Pretty, elicit a lot of guffaws.  Ra Mi Ran is hilarious especially in nightclub scenes. Her facial expressions are on top of the list and an award should be in order.  She and In Pyo are both funny as a couple.

There seem to be a lot of scenes in a dining table giving the impression that days pass quickly on them but, sorry to say, their looks do not change. It is okay, though, but it makes me wonder of the time or number of days that pass after each episode.

Everyone really does a good job here. It is fun, heart-warming, well-executed just like the suits that they sell.

Jasmine Qa Nov 24 2016 12:25 am 1] I learnt that the story of Wolygyesu has deep morale message... Wow! Being a dedicated tailor like Mr. Lee Man Sol reminads me of my late father... He never took a profit, he always received gladly, thankfully, on how much the customer afford to pay their clothes...

2] I like Mr. Leather Jacket... It's for the 1st time I saw Choi WY in such performance, and as long as my attention in his many dramas, that was the most suitable style for him... Whisker, leather jacket, fit long trouser, rather than tuxedo. So manly!

3] I like the innocent faced of Yeon Sil as much as my love on her act in another KBS drama, I forgot it's title... aah, Husband Got Family. Think, she will great side by side with Dong Jin...

4] About Dong Sook-ssi.... I never have a heart to hate her... She always cute, pretty, and sometimes a little dumb...hehehe.... I love her in MISS AJUMMA, PRETTY UGLY, even her bad attitude in WANG's FAMILY...

5] I like watching all the relationship here in tailor shop. Bravo! Success for all the actors and team behind the scene. Good Work everyone!

MERDEKA!!

Kennedy Rose Nov 22 2016 3:05 am as i watched this drama..it hits me..the four guys seemed to be a bit dense when it comes to love..LOL. they have no clue whatsoever on how to deal with the love of their lives. you could see it on each of their faces.. completely clueless.. hahahaha. can't wait to see what the girls will do next to make the boys be more aware of them. and i really hope dongsook will punch daeseop ASAP.

AngelMay Nov 21 2016 7:37 pm I'm loving ep.. 26 but please what song was it playing when Tae Yang caught Hyo Won's mom in his arms? It's a throwback ost but from which drama? Secret Garden or My Girlfriend is a Gumiho? Not knowing is really biting me!!

Ozmo Nov 16 2016 2:28 am Was it Choi Sung-Guk who played Bok Sun-Nyeo's "blind date"?

PAUL ANTHONY GALUPO Nov 13 2016 11:29 pm Will begin watching this after Reply 1988! <3 <3 Fighting!! The drama is still on going though. I wish the writers, cast and crew the best!! :D

Kevin lee Nov 12 2016 11:04 pm Hi, my name is kevin lee and I'm in middle school grade eighth grade. I live in atlanta, Georgia. I watch laurel tree tailors drama very often and I really enjoy it. I don't want dong jin and dong sook's father, Lee Man Sul to die. I will leave it to the drama cast and crew. Thank you!!^^

Kennedy Rose Nov 10 2016 12:32 am Never thought i will watch a long running show but here i am.. i dunno why i like the show..i just do. despite the odd coupling of in pyo and mi ran, they are kinda cute together. And i just realized that the actor who played sung jun/tae pyung is secretary ahn from KMHM. hahahaha..but he's so different that i failed to noticed it's him.. i like how, despite his goofiness, he's a good guy deep inside. and somebody please give tae yang a poke in the ribs..he's a bit dense, huh? i mean, hyo won practically flung herself at him and he still didn't get it..she has to tell him point blank! though why should he quit just because of ji yeon..hmph. anyways, looking forward for more episodes to come! (you guys think sung jun will win the lottery?)

Anon Nov 07 2016 12:13 pm @joana, the scene was filmed at Ginkgo Tree Road in the city of Asan.

HannahannaH Nov 06 2016 3:59 pm Conceptual posters and trailer with nice props. Casts are very attractive and talented, well written story, no dragging episodes, cute sound effects and songs. I love all the couples. All of them!! I think maknae do act a bit awkward, but still fit with his character. One of the best korean drama I've ever wathed, hope to see this quality maintained (and even improved) until the final ep ❤

joana Nov 06 2016 11:19 am Love this drama and its story. Can anyone tell me name of the place at the beginning of ep 20 where Na Yeon Sil was walking under the beautiful autumn trees?

supha Nov 05 2016 10:45 pm This also be the excellent korean drama every actor and actress have been selected properly. The writer was great, as well as the PD. That why I prefer all korean drama even the actor was not well know as Song Jung Ki Lee Min Ho,but they perform very well in their roles.

Mike Nov 03 2016 10:57 pm The youngest couple's acting is really really REALLY poor, comparing to the rest. Their acting is the only thing distract me form the storyline. What a waste !

sun Nov 02 2016 9:04 am So Sincere drama! like a real family and all characters are really great! Love it so much! Congrats!

mira Nov 02 2016 8:41 am love this drama very much n all characters are superb..

Minjy Nov 01 2016 8:15 pm My fav couple taeyang and hyowon.. love their funny and cute interaction.. taeyang@hyunwoo oppa is so cute and handsome~ ^^

Cedric Nov 01 2016 5:23 pm Started watching this KDrama after Daebak appeared in Episode 17. :)

Atina Matthews Oct 31 2016 4:33 am I love this series, Korean Autumn at its best when Na Yeon-Sil was walking under the yellow trees and Lee Dong-Jin was on his car waiting for her. I hope you continue to show how great this love story is. Thank you writers and production staff for a great show! I shall continue and will patiently wait for the ending.

Didin hartojo Oct 31 2016 3:31 am Love this drama! At first didnt feel like to watch it. But then Dong jil caught my eyes! Cantik hardly wait for the next episodes! Keep up the good work!

Neha Oct 30 2016 8:23 pm actapus: It is "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" - the song of opera melodies.

actapus Oct 30 2016 1:35 pm what is the name of the classical music we can hear in this drama?

Tancy Oct 30 2016 5:25 am I love all couples in drama but Tae Yang and Hyo Won because this couple is so strained. Except for this one, everything is great. Samdo and Sun Nyeo make me laugh lol. Besides, love stories of two couples Sung Joon-Dong Sook and Dong Jin-Yun Shil are very interesting that I can't skip any scenes.

Goksi Oct 30 2016 12:28 am I dont have any problem with Cha In Pyo and Ra Mi Ran except that the writer seems to try to make them appear in more scene when they are center in everything. I just thought this drama would be esemble cast.

Victoria Ordiette Oct 24 2016 4:06 am I REALLY LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH!! even though I had just seen the ads for this drama I immediately fell in love with it. In addition, there is my favorite actor and he is Lee Dong Gun :) quite a long time did not see him acting. I really like the story-line of the drama. Although it has 50 episodes but I do not care. FIGHTING all of you!! My rate for this drama is 100% :) :)

LDGsaranghae Oct 19 2016 11:05 am I love this drama so much! Lee Dong Gun is the ultimate sweetheart... I love him so much eversince Lovers in Paris, and I'm so happy watching him again in this drama! His acting is superb! His eyes just says it all. Saranghaeyo Lee Dong Gun! I love all the cast in this drama...

Kokopuffs Oct 16 2016 2:52 am hahahahaha I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH!!!! Light-hearted touching and fun!! It always helps ease me in to the new week. Its my stress-reliever go to drama. Amazing hilarious story with a top-notch cast! And the fact that it is 50 episodes long is the best thing ever!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE

grace Oct 12 2016 6:46 am at first, I dont really want to watch this drama. 50 episode and each episode air for 1 hour...But, after watching i in kbs world, I try it and love it. :D the cast are A-list cast :D

Ron Oct 11 2016 11:43 am Love this drama and all the characters.

HS KL Oct 07 2016 7:00 am Our sympathy to all the people of Korea and especially those in Busan. We pray that you all are safe and well after the tsunami. This is a wonderful drama. Congrats to the team!

Teddy Ballgame Oct 03 2016 2:57 pm Another drama where the youngsters must take a back seat to the "ajummas" who rule the roost. Lots of supportive comments coming for Ra Mi Ran and Oh Hyun Kyung, but let's not leave out the great Park Jun-keum who has never been in a scene that she didn't own. Kudos for another promising long running daily winner by the KBS crowd!

Dracci Sep 29 2016 9:18 pm me_nina: It is "Hey love" - Lee Yu Lim

Burney Sep 29 2016 1:11 pm Choi Won Young and Oh Hyun Kyung is the best of them all.

me_nina Sep 27 2016 8:09 am no.. not 'say say say'.. i mean the other one...

Dracci Sep 26 2016 8:30 am The ending song is Say Say Say performed by Ji Soo.

Dracci Sep 26 2016 8:25 am Drama is good but I'm not pleased much. I think there is a discrimination between son and daughter in this drama. It's obvious that Mrs Choi loves Dong Jin more than Dong Sook because he's the only son in family. She often scolds Dong Sook when she makes mistakes but never complains about Dong Jin. Under some circumstances, I agree with Mrs Choi because Dong Sook sometimes says silly things (it's funny). However, in episode 10, she blamed all fault at Dong Jin's divorce for her daughter. May be she worry but no need to take her anger out Dong Sook. Both are her children and what she does is not equal for two one. It is not acceptable. All is my opinion. Hope it will be better in next episodes.

me_nina Sep 26 2016 4:12 am please someone tell me what's the tittle of the ending's song on this drama...

Un modeste admirateur Sep 25 2016 11:59 pm @Gary: The waltz music at the beginning is called "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" ("Let's drink from the joyful cups") from Verdi's opera "La traviata".

Gary Sep 25 2016 7:22 pm What is the name of the waltz music at the beginning of each episode? Also composers name for music Thank you

Miley Sep 24 2016 6:00 am Sung Jun x Dong Sook couple is getting more and more cuter every episode T.T

Helen Hanni Sep 22 2016 10:01 am Just watch 8 eps but I love this drama very much. Attractive content with many funny scenes, especially excellent casts makes the drama more successful. Now, I'm interested in the couple Sung Jun - Dong Sook. They're so cute and I'm waiting for love between them :)))

Blunt Sep 21 2016 12:53 am After watching a few episodes, I accept the Cha In-Pyo and Ra Mi-Ran couple. They even look sweet together. But now, something else is bothering me: the hairstylist of Jo Yoon-Hee needs to be banished from Korea and forbidden from exercising for 30 years. I say this, of course, because her haircut is atrocious; maybe her hairstylist is otherwise a nice person, and maybe somebody else is responsible for the decision.

mica Sep 21 2016 12:15 am i just noticed that the Saturday/Sunday drama from KBS, most of it always tops the ranks compared to the other 2 major broadcasting stations...

miranda Sep 18 2016 9:08 pm I love this drama. It is very funny, especially Cha In Pyo and Ra Mi Ran, very cute couple. They have good chemistry, they blend but one would wonder what skillful Cha In Pyo saw in Ra Mi Ran for them to marry.

Leather Jacket and Dong Sook are cute and funny, too.  I love the way Dong Sook, beautiful, tall and sophisticated, could be so dumb as to be star-struck to has-been-but-actually-never-been singer that is Leather Jacket.

Shin Goo and Young Ae do not have much acting to do but the emotion and the connection are there. You get it instantly without them blinking an eye.

Yong sil and Dong Jin do not have much wave yet together. They are still caught in between.

The actors from the tailor shop are great and perform very well. The actors from Meesa Apparel have to do a little bit of internalizing of their roles for them to catch up with people from the tailor shop. Over-all, this is a very enjoyable drama up to episode 8.

Kanja Sep 18 2016 3:07 pm Ra Mi-ran and Cha In-pyo are really my favorite couple in this drama. They play off each others chemistry so well, I just love the way they interact.

Diss Sep 16 2016 10:39 am I don't think Ra Mi Ran is acting. They always create for her a character is just exactly the same with her personality, so she just has to react, not act.

Eynay Sep 16 2016 6:39 am Nothing weird about Ra miran couple up with Cha In Pyo.

Eynay Sep 16 2016 6:36 am I'm watching this although I never interested to watched long running drama (more than 20episode) but this drama have really good storytelling, funny & also warm. I hope I will watching till the end!

Bell Sep 14 2016 1:34 am Mi ran and Cha In pyo ...i cried...they are so damn funny and Cha's character is like a parody

Nancy Sep 11 2016 7:17 am This time slot of KBS always gets high ratings, probably because they have good dramas to show.Starting to love this drama. Oh Hyun Kyung is back from Wang's Family which is a highly rated drama on tge same time slot.

her Sep 09 2016 10:46 pm hyun woo fighting. . . I really hope u will become the mvp of this drama even ur not the main actor, everyone ps supp him^^

D Sep 09 2016 10:20 pm the song sung by sung joon "susanna's handkerchief" i can't find it any solutions?

Grace Sep 07 2016 11:39 am I heard this drama not just get the high rating because it airing in the weekend. but, because the story...and I search the profile of this drama and WOW! the cast are superb. almost all of them are well known actor and actress...but, the number of episode quite make me hesitant to watch .... But, fighting for this drama! :D

pgirlcl Sep 04 2016 3:40 pm As I have posted before: This is the Drama to Watch-rollercoaster of emotions name it this drama has it, standing ovation to the story lines the conversations "fit in” with each characters as they go- make sense. Bow 3x to Lee Dong-Jin (Lee Dong-Gun) & Na Yeon-Sil (Jo Yoon-Hee) at the grapevine yard (hilarious & the creation of urination & water fight were fabulous) Loving all the cast members & their characters-next episode please- I must see this drama throughout

Obet Sep 04 2016 7:42 am The 1st 2 episodes presented its storyline: losing and rising up when one falls. Another kdrama to look forward watching. It will be interesting how the 4 gentlemen will rise to their respective trials or failures.

LoLa Sep 03 2016 2:20 am Lee Dong-Gun & Jo Yoon-Hee .. good to see them again. Oh Hyun-Kyung Winner of the 1989 Miss Korea beauty pageant, still pretty. Great cast! This will be a fun drama to watch. Nice 2 episodes to begin with.

Nana Aug 31 2016 6:16 am After watching a bird that doesn't sing and then this drama and i can be sure that there is no role Oh Hyun Kyung cant act.

Madeline Ha Aug 31 2016 3:00 am Oh Hyun-Kyung and Ra Mi-ran are the best actresses I've known. They act so excellently and make me laugh a lot when watching their roles in this drama.

Lavra Aug 30 2016 4:47 am The first episode may be a little boring but the second is so good. Everyone does a great job. Good drama indeed.

Cuckoo Aug 30 2016 4:44 am Interesting script, perfect cast choice and good directing. The writer is so much better since her last drama Legend of witches. This drama is must-watch.

Vianey Aug 29 2016 5:28 pm First ep here i come 08/29/16 50 more to go

ngocle Aug 29 2016 9:18 am this drama is so fun

suk2014 Aug 29 2016 9:13 am Blunt: what so weird? What wrong about casting? Where the mistake? Ra miran is good actress btw.

Jackson Aug 29 2016 5:43 am Look, I'm an American living in New Zealand and after stumbling across this show accidentally, I'm in love. I look forward to future episodes and can't wait to see where this goes.

K Aug 28 2016 11:02 pm Wow! The cast is no joke. And it's a weekend KBS drama. This is so rare.

Pearlite Aug 28 2016 8:14 am I really enjoyed the first episode of this show. Nicely-paced and a story that keeps you interested. Looking forward to seeing what this great cast has in store!

Blunt Aug 22 2016 9:30 am Judging by the video trailers, the story looks really promising. But the couple Cha In-Pyo and Ra Mi-Ran is way too weird, even for a comical drama. This might prove to be a casting mistake. Anyway, we'll see.

Kanja Aug 21 2016 12:31 pm Lee Dong-gun, Cha In-pyo & Hyun Woo too?! Wow I'm going to love this drama so much already One because Lee dong-gun is my favorite actor, two the storyline involves a tailor shop, and lastly very colorful cast I've seen in many past dramas. ^_^

Shimaima Aug 21 2016 6:41 am One of the first actors that capturing my eyes.... Always waiting for his new projects ☺️

Alia Aug 11 2016 3:46 pm Wow lee dong gun and hyun woo this is going to be awesome

bluetamarind Aug 05 2016 12:19 am Very interesting cast, esp with Choi Won Young, Kim Young Ae, Oh Hyun Kyung and Ra Mi Ran. Seems like they never ran out of roles to do.
